The Best High-End Face Primers

If there is one thing I could go
back and tell my 19-year-old self, it would be: “Stop spending so much money on
pizza and beer (love, your waist), and invest in a high-end primer (love, your
face)." Primer has become a must-have in my beauty collection. At one time, I
could have three or four different primers in rotation at once. As much as I love a
deal, I will splurge on primer time and time again. My top five contenders are:

Benefit The POREfessional - Goodbye pores, hello stay all day makeup!
Benefit's POREfessional is a hard primer to beat. It doesn't clog your pores,
but instead camouflages them. All while keeping your makeup in place all day long.

Smashbox Iconic Photo Finish Primer - Lights, camera, action! If you're
expecting to take a lot of photos (aka selfies #noshame), prime with
this guy. The Photo Finish Primer helps even out redness, and preps your skin for a day filled with
flashes and photos.

bareMinerals Prime Time Foundation Primer - This primer is definitely a close second in my heart to
Benefit's POREfessional. The consistency of this primer leaves your skin
feeling like a baby's bottom, and applying your foundation is a breeze as well.

Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer - If you're willing to make a serious splurge, I swear by this primer. It is different than any primer I have ever used. It's a
pure white, silky formula that only requires a very small amount to cover
the entire face. Each time I use this primer with a full
coverage foundation, I can see and feel the difference.tarte Clean Slate Poreless 12-Hr Perfecting Primer - Who
doesn't appreciate a clean slate? Tarte's Clean Slate Primer takes poreless to
a whole new level. This primer is perfect for pairing with a light coverage foundation.

Want to know the way to my heart? A
good primer, a glass of merlot & an all-expenses paid trip to Sephora.
